"Coming Up with an Idea Is an Easy Thing. It's Hardest to Put it Down"

In an interview, Serling lays out his thoughts on writing, which are paraphrased in the headline above.

Here’s the whole idea:

Ideas come from the Earth.

Ideas are born from what is smelled, heard, seen, experienced, felt, emotionalized.

Ideas are probably in the air, like little tiny items of ozone.

That’s the easiest thing on earth, is to come up with an idea.

The second thing is, the hardest thing on earth is to put it down.

It’s a nice reminder that ideas aren’t anything without execution.
